The case had its roots from 1835 when William Webb died interstate. George Jones administrated the estate and this document alleges Jones essentially sacked the estate, swapping some of the negro slaves and alleging quite a bit of hanky-panky with the property. Most of the case swirls around the property of slaves who are identified as Caesar; a woman named Fanny her girl child about four years old named Melissa; a woman named Eliza and her five year old boy, Robert; as well as other slaves Elias, Morris, Lucy, Sally. As the case dragged on, Fanny had another child, Nancy. The petition claims Jones engineered a complicated scheme to hide the assets (slaves) and sell them off for his own benefit. There was also the fear that the notoriously insolvent man might remove the slaves from the jurisdiction of the court or conceal them. He ultimately filed for bankruptcy with no mention of the slaves in question among his assets. Document follows the case and all its convoluted twists and turns, judgments, motions, answers, continuances, appeals, charges, counter-charges, accusations, etc. Last date in document is Dec. 12, 1850. http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=83093129 Item #83093129 1947 ORNATE ILLINOIS WORLD WAR II CERTIFICATE Certificate awarded to Robert E.
